Repeated Failures

Iowa’s Heartland Connection reportedthat Golden Age Nursing and Rehabilitation Center has been fined $15,000 following the death of two patients. Inspectors found that the nursing home has repeatedly failed to provide the minimum level of care for residents at the facility.

The home was fined $8,000 in September after the death of a 64-year-old woman. Now the fine of $15,000 is connected to the death, in November, of a 91-year-old woman. An 89-year-old woman also died around the same time.
